It certainly shouldn't require that.

The only step required to run as root is make install.

The main gotcha is that you need to configure and build libgeda first,
make install (as root of course), then build the rest of the suite.

If anyone else can figure out why this might be, I'd be interested to
know. As it is, I'm pretty stumped as to why it would want a terminal.

I'd guess it is something that the terminal's startup script is doing
(benficially) to the runtime environment for gschem.
